Chapter 1311 Motorola Chairman Impeached

When Huang Yu was having a headache when Haier rashly interjected, Mr. Zhang and Lin Zheng were having fun chatting.

"Brother, why didn't you use the official power to put pressure on Gome this time?" Mr. Zhang was very curious about this. He knew that Lin Zheng himself had a good personal relationship with many top officials at the official level. Not to mention using the official power to deal with Gome Electrical Appliances, at least he would not be able to warn Huang Yu. Many people did think so before, but what surprised everyone was that Lin Zheng did not do so.

"Because this is a pure commercial competition," Lin Zheng smiled and said: "Although Huang Yu's approach is disgusting, they did not violate the rules."

"I'm talking," Mr. Zhang nodded, and Lin Zheng's answer was not beyond his expectations: "You will understand after you say this."

The power of the official is a double-edged sword. If used well, it can greatly improve the development speed of the company. However, if the official power is abused, it will not only hurt others, but also hurt yourself. What’s worse is that once a dependence on the power of the official, it will also cause a very serious consequence: no one likes to cooperate with someone who always doesn’t follow business rules.

In which industry you are involved, you have to talk about the rules of which industry. Problems that can be solved by commercial means are naturally tending to solve by commercial means.

Mr. Zhang is in his 50s and is naturally very clear about this, but Lin Zheng is only 30 now, and he is young and energetic. It is already a bit surprised that Mr. Zhang can recognize this, but he not only realizes this, but also strictly demands himself. This really makes Mr. Zhang sincerely admire him.

Lin Zheng didn't think there was anything to show off. In his opinion, commercial competition needs to be solved by commercial means. This is a very normal thing. Compared with this, he was more curious about Mr. Zhang's visit: "Brother, what do you mean is that Haier will walk on two legs in the future?"

"You can't put all the eggs in one basket," Mr. Zhang smiled. Haier is now the well-deserved king of white goods. This is certainly Haier's glory, but it has also become a rope to stop Haier's continued development. If Haier wants to continue to develop, he must find new profit growth points. This is also his biggest purpose to come to Lin Zheng today. Looking at Lin Zheng, Mr. Zhang finally expressed the purpose of his trip: "Mr. Lin, are you interested in cooperating with Motorola?"

"Hair is also interested in Motorola?" Lin Zheng was a little surprised.

Mr. Zhang immediately smiled: "That's Motorola, who wouldn't be interested?"

"Of course there is no problem in cooperating," although Mr. Zhang's purpose exceeded Lin Zheng's expectations, it was not unacceptable. Lin Zheng pondered for a moment and nodded, "But there is a problem. I think the relevant regulatory departments of the US government will most likely not agree to this acquisition."

As we said before. As the largest communication equipment provider for the US military in the past half a century, if Lianchuang Technology successfully acquired Motorola, the result would be almost disastrous for the US military. Even if Lin Zheng wanted to acquire Motorola's personal communications division, for the US government, they would rather watch Motorola fail to hold on and then approve the sale of Motorola to the Chinese. This has nothing to do with interest, or rather, it has a greater interest.

Lin Zheng didn't believe that Mr. Zhang would not understand this, but it was because he understood that he was particularly surprised that Mr. Zhang actually had to mix it in.

"I know this," Mr. Zhang nodded. When Haier discussed it internally, he considered it: "Let me say that, Haier is not particularly concerned about whether the acquisition will be successfully achieved in the end. We pay more attention to some things learned and some things shown in this process..."

Lin Zheng was stunned for a moment, then gave Mr. Zhang a thumbs up in admiration: "Brother, your courage is too great."

He understood Haier's idea. Even if he could not successfully acquire Motorola in the future, Haier would learn a lot in the field of mobile communications and could also establish his own position in the world... Compared with other domestic mobile phone brands, Haier can only be regarded as a latecomer in this field.

Speaking of which, Haier clearly intends to operate mobile communications as a main pillar industry in the future, and only a wealthy company like Haier dares to do this.

Lin Zheng was not worried that Haier would threaten Lianchuang Technology's status by then. The most important reason why Lianchuang Technology can have its current status is its importance on technology and its channel construction. He smiled and stretched out his hand to Mr. Zhang: "Since that's the case, I wish us a happy cooperation first."

"Happy cooperation!" Mr. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly held Lin Zheng's hand: He was actually a little worried that Lin Zheng would reject him.

Aurondo has a good idea and uses the most advantageous market means to open up the market. However, he did not expect that his Chinese peers seemed to have a close relationship with him. Before Motorola's promotion began, the entire Chinese national mobile phone brand suddenly started a massive "universal popularization of mobile phones" without any warning. The various mobile phones under it carried out concessions promotions with varying price reductions, and the concessions of some models even exceeded 40%. The joint action of several Chinese mobile phone brands caught Motorola off guard, which also completely lost its effect on the previous confident promotion.

In this event, the most dazzling stars are not the various smart and semi-smartphones of Lisheng Electronics, but the ultra-thin metal flip phone they just launched. Well, it is Motorola's strategic model: v3. As soon as this phone was launched, it was sought after by the market for its amazing shape and absolutely luxurious configuration in this era. Even if Lianchuang Technology's factory is fully powered, it is hard to find a machine in the domestic and European and American markets.

Faced with this result, Orando almost went crazy. He was so angry that he even filed a lawsuit with the Republic's official, suing Lianchuang Technology for unfair competition. There is no doubt that Motorola's lawsuit was refuted, and the functional department had a very good reason: Lisheng's mobile phone practice did not violate any laws and regulations, nor did it dump it in the market at a cost price, so naturally there was no saying that it violated fair competition.

On the contrary, Motorola's desperate approach to jumping over the wall was reported by the media, which caused ridicule across the country: You, Motorola, cannot compare with your competitors in market operations, and you are still embarrassed to complain?

After this one-month market promotion, Motorola's market share further declined, and its monthly sales fell below 10% for the first time in more than 10 years since entering the Chinese market.

After getting this statistics, Motorola went crazy!

Not only Motorola is crazy, but the stock market is also crazy: in the world's largest single market, Motorola's market share is less than 10%?

Capital has always been cruel. Motorola's share in the Chinese market fell below 10% for the first time and became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Motorola's stock price, which has been slow and firmly in the past quarter, collapsed instantly. For three consecutive days, Motorola's stock price fell by 5% every day... For Motorola and the board of directors, this is a life-threatening death!

They could no longer stand Christoph Galvin's incompetence. Anderson, the "old friend" of Christoph Galvin, took the lead in proposing a distrust case against Christoph Galvin on the board: "Gentlemen, because of Mr. Galvin's poor performance in the company's operations and his poor ability to deal with crises, I formally launched a distrust proposal for Mr. Christoph Galvin, asking the board to remove Mr. Christoph Galvin's position as chairman and CEO!"

"I agree!"

"I agree too!"

"I agree too..."

Arms were raised one after another but extremely firm. Everyone could no longer bear Christopher Galvin's poor performance over the past six months. Seeing the straight downward line of Motorola's stock price, everyone felt like a knife: Damn it's all my money!

Today, the board's dissatisfaction with Christoph Galvin finally reached its peak.

Christopher Galvin's face turned pale. A few days ago, when he tried his best to stop Motorola's stock price from continuing to fall but failed, he had already had a premonition that this scene happened today, but when it really happened, he was still a little unacceptable. He was the founder of Motorola: the contemporary head of the Galvin family. In his opinion, it was natural for him to host Motorola. These bastards, how dare they dismiss themselves?

But the problem is that the directors really started to remove themselves.

Looking at the raised arms, Christoph Galvin shivered twice and finally spoke slowly: "I... I am responsible for Motorola's performance in recent times."

As soon as Christoph Galvin's words came to an end, the directors were relieved, especially Anderson, with a smile on their faces: Everyone was really worried that Christoph Galvin would drag him down in this position. Although he could still drive him down through the procedure, it was a bit troublesome after all. Christoph Galvin, the guy, resigned voluntarily, was the best.

Taking a deep breath, Christoph Galvin continued: "But before resigning, I have to find a new helm for Motorola, and I recommend Mr. Edward Jende to take my position."

ps: That's right, it's still the third update. Thank you for your monthly ticket support yesterday. Thank you for your thousand years. (To be continued...)
